Discussion
Are there other bots doing this task presently?  MBisanz  talk 20:35, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes but seems not relatively active. -- Make  cat  02:53, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
 * May I ask which one is it (and BFRA if available)? mabdul 06:18, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
 * None listed in Bots/Status, but actually there are some: [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&search=commonscat&fulltext=Search&ns2=1&redirs=1&profile=advanced], e.g. User:AvicBot, User:BotMultichill and User:MGA73bot. However, I can't find a bot that is active on this task. -- Make  cat  07:13, 14 January 2013 (UTC)


 * If there are no other bots editing, I see no issue to give a 50 edit trial run.— cyberpower ChatOnline 17:15, 14 January 2013 (UTC)


 *  MBisanz  talk 23:57, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Finished. It seems that year-related categories on other wikipedias have some inaccurate commonscat templates, so I will review my bot's edits after a cycle of run finished. -- Make  cat  02:53, 15 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Have you performed the trial yet?— cyberpower ChatOffline 20:05, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
 * [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20130115024937&tagfilter=&contribs=user&target=Makecat-bot&namespace= here] -- Make  cat  02:09, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Then it always helps to mark it with . Otherwise BAG won't know.— cyberpower ChatOffline 04:14, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
